Toxic Dreams: dancing between Capitalism and Intimacy

Contamination, dispossession, accumulation, patriarchal domination, speed, non-reciprocity, inequity, short-term visions and actions. All of this is part of our daily lives and constructs our ways of interacting. Capitalism establishes a precise relationship which penetrates our land, our source of life in an exploitative and often abusively way. We open up a space of enquiry to place ourselves between capitalist industry, market and our intimate and sexual relations, between abstract ideas and concrete flesh.

How is this reality reflected in our way of touching the other? How do these global dynamics play out on a micro or intimate scale? How does capitalism shape our patterns of desire and sexual orientation?

We are not looking for solutions or ethical declarations, but to open up spaces of experience that raise questions from dances that accommodate and let oppositions and/or contradictions of our humanity emerge.

Reversed.dances has been developing a socio-poetical methodology based on the confluence between somatic practices as authentic movement and experiential anatomy (inspired by BMC and Continuum), dance improvisation and instant composition practices, philosophical reflections and mind mapping.
